About this resource
Description
A dino shape book activity turns a love of dinosaurs into a reason to write. Children light up when they get to make their own book, and a booklet built around a big, friendly dinosaur feels exciting from the very first page. Writing about a dino friend, a pretend adventure, or a favorite dinosaur story helps kindergarten students practice turning their ideas into words, one sentence at a time.
This printable booklet has two pages. The cover shows a large, smiling long-neck dinosaur outline to color, with a line for the title of the book and a line for the author’s name. The writing page has a Name and Date line, the prompt “Write about a dino friend. Tell what you would do.”, eight tall writing lines sized for kindergarten handwriting, and a border to color: a palm tree, a nest of eggs, a leafy fern, and a smooth rock. Print the pages, staple them together, and let each child become an author. Because every child writes their own story, answers will vary.
What’s Included
- A booklet cover with a big, friendly dinosaur outline to color
- Title and By lines so each child names the book and signs it as the author
- A writing page with eight tall, evenly spaced lines for kindergarten writers
- A border of four dinosaur-world things to color at the bottom of the writing page
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
- Making a book of their own gives beginning writers pride and a reason to finish their work.
- Tall, evenly spaced lines help children form letters at a steady size and leave spaces between words.
- Coloring the dinosaur and the border builds the same hand muscles children use to hold a pencil.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use this kindergarten dinosaur writing booklet during a dinosaur theme week, after a dinosaur read-aloud, or as a fun writing center choice. Before writing, brainstorm words on the board, such as big, long neck, tail, eggs, nest, and leaves, so children can copy them. Some students will write one word, others a full sentence, and some may draw and label a picture. Add more writing pages for students who want to keep going, then invite each author to read the finished book to a partner or take it home to share. The dino shape book activity is a simple way to make daily writing time feel like play.
